LISA SMITH

Student Ministries Director

When Lisa began working with our youth group, it consisted of only a handful of high schoolers and a dozen junior highers. Less than a year later, we have had the privilege of seeing this small ministry grow and flourish under her direction.

Welcome to Mount Olive Baptist Church! We are a warm, family-oriented community of believers who are deeply committed to living and sharing the Word of God. At Mount Olive, we stand firmly on biblical principles, embracing faith, love, and service as the foundation of our ministry.

Our mission is to create an environment where the unchurched love to come, and believers are discipled and aid in disciple-making by using their God-given gifts. We aim to create a welcoming space where individuals and families discover their God-given purpose and build meaningful connections with others. Whether you're new to the faith or have been on your spiritual journey for years, you will find a place of belonging here.

At Mount Olive, we prioritize worship, biblical teaching, and outreach. We aim to reflect Christ's love in everything we do through prayer, fellowship, and service. Join us as we seek to deepen our faith, support one another, and spread the kingdom of God throughout our community and beyond. No matter where you are, there’s a place for you at Mount Olive Church.

Come grow with us!
